Abstract painting, similar to abstractions like music and geometry, explores the fundamental principles that underlie the surface appearance of things. Paint layering and shape adjustment are devices used by painters to compose and to imply a more meaningful inner world in their abstract works. These methods of painting are usually executed in oil or in other opaque mediums. The theme is the journey. Becoming tells its own story. It reveals the aspirations and paths explored. Abstract painting is a technique that invites all to share in this process.

My Watercolor paintings utilized the same attitudes. I feel the work deserves a rich viscous language if it is going to successfully synthesis my goals.

All of my paintings on this wonderful website are achieved using transparent watercolor. In other words they are watercolors.
